Mrs. Housewife's stiff reading and forced expressions are a real highlight in this half-hour, which is also enlivened by that popular invention, the tintometer.
How serious are this film's claims about Oxydol? Well, there are lab coats everywhere. Scientists wouldn't lie, would they? (Actually, they don't say anything. Announcers yell at us about lime scum, including the 1930s Jam Handy announcer who shouts about Chevrolets).
We're treated to all kinds of demonstrations. Rinso White doesn't stand a chance, even with its "happy little wash day song." It gets a little repetitive after a while.

Unfortunately, 50 years later, they'd outlaw phosphates from detergents rendering them useless for getting body grease out of whites and, double the price. Then washers would adopt the "socialista" concept of regulating water temp so a hot wash is like 104 degrees. Even worse.
Oh take me back to the 1930's. A wringer washer with useful stuff like Oxydol and water hot as I wanted at least got my undies and sheets white without having to boil the stuff on my stainless steel stovetop, perched on my granite countertop.

"We hired an army of the best and brightest scientific talent to work around the clock trying to improve a dish soap (or whatever Oxydol is). When we realized the great opportunities in the Pharmaceutical markets, well, that's when we REALLY got excited."

My grandma stockpiled 70 years of Rinso and Red Super Suds in a warehouse because she got the stuff on the cheap. No wonder why all the family photos have had dingy dull scummy look to our clothing.
Now I am free to buy HIGH TEST OXYDOL...oh, they don't make that formula anymore. Oh no! What will I do?

Subject: 50% less scum!!
Curiously (I know, I begin 50% of my reviews with curiously.. never mind) structured film that starts out by being as it says, a slide film, but then goes into a lab for a live-motion part, then goes back to slide motion. Only when it goes into the lab is when people start to move. I have no idea what this represents, but anyways, New and Improved Oxydol is presented to.. Somebody, it wasn't abundantly clear here (sales managers?) which much fanfare, bright colors! less staining! less scum! The true hilight of this film, and an Amelie moment for sure (actually, Rick already highlighted it in his CD-ROM packages) is the totally robotic wife who seems to have just stepped out of Stepford with her line deliveries such as "I want plenty of suds". Truly truly bizarre.
